Hob Y Derri Dando

Faith and the Muse

Low ye hills in ocean lie
(Hob y derri dando)
Hide not Meirion from my eye
(Hob y derri dando)
Still one view, oh let me take
(Down derri down)
Ere my longing heart do break
(Down down hie derri down)
My darling Mary do not frown
(Down down hie derri down)
My darling Mary do not frown

O'er the seas hath flown my heart
(Hob y derri dando)
O'er the seas my sighs depart
(Hob y derri dando)
And o'er the seas must she be sought
(Down derri down)
Who lives yet always in my thought
(Down down hie derri down)
My darling Mary do not frown
(Down down hie derri down)
My darling Mary do not frown

'Neath the waves I shall reside
(Hob y derri dando)
'Neath the waters and the tide
(Hob y derri dando)
For my longing heart did break
(Down derri down)
When she another love did take
(Down down hie derri down)
My darling Mary do not frown
(Down down hie derri down)
My darling Mary do not frown
